| Comments | The gift of the association from a donation by the executors of George and Annis Bills Australia. This trough is one of six Bills troughs erected in England and Ireland. It is also one of a few that contain the inscription "METROPOLITAN DRINKING FOUNTAIN AND CATTLE TROUGH ASSOCIATION" instead of the more usual "METROPOLITAN DRINKING FOUNTAIN & CATTLE TROUGH ASSOCIATION". For a full list of troughs with an "AND rather than a "&" click here. This trough was stolen in late 2019. |
